I’ve published the initial version of my JavaScript library, DP_SharePoint, designed to make working with client-side SharePoint development easier. Still in development, the library provides:
- Methods to acquire JavaScript handlers to SharePoint form controls and fields. This make it much simpler to interrogate or add event handlers to SharePoint forms.
- Simple methods to add or remove events from SharePoint form elements.
- Simple methods to hide and show elements of SharePoint forms.
- Methods to simplify the calling and use of SharePoint web services and ready the data returned from them for use.
The library should be considered (very) beta but I am using it in a heavily trafficked production development. I’ve got lots of plans for this, as I’m in a position to do a lot of SharePoint development over the next few months or years (all without access to SharePoint Designer or any back-end support).
Comments, criticisms or suggestions are always welcome!
